Jessica Herbst Lesson Plan #3


 * __ Teacher Name: __** Jessica Herbst


 * __ Grade Level: __** 2nd grade


 * __ Subject: __** Cross curriculum/Technology


 * __ Topic: __** Ipads


 * __ Lesson Summary: __** The students will be able to us an ipad to access educational apps to reinforce concepts learned during classroom instruction. The students will work in cooperative groups during a discovery period where they will explore this device that they have never used before. Students will also work with one another to develop a “how to” guide to using an ipad. Finally, given a vast selection of apps, they will learn how to use one and show it to the class

*How will learning objectives be communicated to students? The teacher will allow students a discovery period in which they can explore the ipad through trial and error and dialogue with their classmates. They will share their knowledge with the rest of the class. *How will students be allowed to personalize learning objectives? Students can personalize their sharing by selecting different educational apps from among many choices that have been installed on the ipad to present to the class. They will also choose different “how to’s” for the classroom guide
 * __ Goals (Learning Objectives): __**

NETS: 1.b, 2.a, 2.d, 4.b, 6.b, 6.d


 * Strategies that Create the Learning Environment **

Setting Objectives Providing Feedback Reinforcing Effort Providing Recognition


 * Procedure/Brief Description: **
 * Students will be given an ipad to explore after the teacher discusses with them a few simple rules of use and respect of this technology.
 * The teacher will communicate the following learning objectives:
 * After exploration in groups, the students will create a “how to” guide on using an ipad
 * Students will use the ipad to practice a math concept they are learning in class (adding and subtracting with regrouping)
 * Students will show and demonstrate an app of their choice to the class
 * Students will then work in groups to explore how the ipad works and start to begin using some of the apps without any specific instructions from the teacher.


 * Strategies that Help Students Acquire & Integrate New Knowledge **

Cues, Questions, & Advance Organizers Summarizing Note taking Nonlinguistic Representation Cooperative Learning


 * Procedure/Brief Description **
 * Students will work in groups and with partners while exploring and discovering what the ipad can do.
 * Students will collaborate with one another to create pages of instructions for the “how to” guide.


 * Strategies that Help Students Practice, Review, & Apply Existing Knowledge **

Homework & Practice Identifying Similarities & Differences (Compare/contrast, classify, create, metaphors or analogies) Generating & Testing Hypotheses (problem-solving, invention experimental inquiry, historical investigation, decision-making, systems analysis)


 * Procedure/Brief Description: **
 * Students will present an app of their choice to the class and show how to use it after investigating and experimenting to figure it out.
 * Students will select and use the app “Math regrouping” to reinforce the concepts of adding and subtracting numbers with regrouping to practice and prepare for their math test.
